“Hot-Swappable”PCIeCardInstallations
New PCI Express technology allows you to remove your 3rd Party PCIe cards for maintenance or replacement – without shutting down the system. The EB2 expansions system supports Hot Plugging/Hot Swapping of cards as defined by the PCI express specifications.
By design, this feature allows the host PC to gracefully remove power to a slot, so that a PCIe card can be removed and replaced. It then powers on the new card in coordination with the PC’s operating system. By default, the EB2 ships with this feature turned on.
IMPORTANT
There are cases in which you would wish to turn off this feature, especially if the PCIe cards you plan on installing in the EB2 chassis require or adhere to a different timing budget than allowed in the PCIe specifications.
In order to turn off
Toggle switch to the left to disable Hot- Swap/Hot Plug
If you have any doubts, please check with you card’s vendor that no such constrains exist for this card.
